This section should describe how student learning will be assessed by the facilitator throughout the instructional module. Note: you may want to peruse next week’s resources to assist you with this section. Suggested sections:
Pre-assessment strategies (before learning)
Formative assessment strategies (during learning)
Summative assessment strategies (after learning)
Pre-Assessment Strategies
Pre-Assessment strategies can be very beneficial before beginning any training. The first advantage to pre-assessing is that this allows the instructor to have the information on where training needs to begin. Another advantage is that it allows the instructor to have comparison data to assess the information learned from the training using pre-assessment and post-assessment information.
To begin the pre-assessment period, learners will need to identify terms specific to computer usage. They will also need to have a prior email address and will also need to have a password for use in creating their account in Edmodo. The instructor can verbally ask questions and verify that everyone has the required skills and information to begin instruction.
Formative Assessment Strategies
Formative assessment will occur and be ongoing during the training. This assessment allows the instructor to determine if the instruction should be altering during the class in any way to allow the learners optimum learning instruction in the training session. This also allows for qualitative feedback during the instructional process rather than a written score.
Ideally this will take place as the students are creating and using their accounts they create in Edmodo. The students will be able to let the instructor know by their feedback during the training if the instruction is working or needs to be adapted or changed to meet the needs of the learners.
Summative Assessment Strategies
Summative assessment gives the instructor needed information on the outcomes of the lesson and whether objectives have been met. It can also give the instructor feedback on whether the instructional method was successful or will need to be changed for future instruction to achieve more successful outcomes.
At the conclusion of the lesson, summative assessment can be obtained by using the same questioning methods used to determine prior knowledge during the pre-assessment strategy section of the lesson. Also the most appropriate assessment of the training would be if the learners are able to create and successfully use their Edmodo accounts for the stated objectives.
